About the job
Amper is an innovative, venture capital-backed SaaS technology firm committed to revolutionizing the manufacturing industry from the ground up. Our advanced platform is crafted to convert traditional shop-floor complexities into actionable insights, empowering teams to operate based on real-time data. This transformation enables manufacturers to streamline costs, enhance visibility, and boost operational efficiency.
Our team thrives on collaboration, and while we support remote work, we prioritize candidates from the Chicagoland area who are willing to engage in-person for collaborative sessions. There are no strict requirements for office attendance, but local candidates benefit from the opportunity for valuable face-to-face interactions.
The Role...
As we expand our engineering team, we are seeking a Senior Full Stack Engineer to contribute to the development of our customer-facing and internal products.
In this role, you will navigate diverse challenges as a full-stack engineer. Your responsibilities will include building extensive APIs as well as microservices, utilizing Python extensively, and developing front-end solutions primarily with React and various third-party tools. You will be tasked with creating applications for both web and mobile platforms, tackling issues from distributed systems to optimizing individual database queries for enhanced performance.
At Amper, being a Senior Software Engineer also means embodying a 'product-centric' mindset. Our engineers are not merely ticket-pushers; under the guidance of a Product Owner, you will engage in brainstorming new ideas and determining the most effective implementation strategies.
You Will Thrive at Amper If You:
Have a strong curiosity and eagerness to tackle unfamiliar challenges, both technical and customer-oriented.
Value humility and helpfulness as highly as technical expertise.
Are enthusiastic about sharing your knowledge while being open to learning from others.
Qualifications:
A minimum of 7 years of professional experience in building and maintaining complex software systems, particularly in B2B SaaS platforms is essential for success.
Proven technical expertise in developing both large APIs and microservices, with a strong capability to assess architectural trade-offs and guide team members in implementation.
